Caton Merchant Family Gallery
The Caton Merchant Family Gallery hosts a new art exhibit approximately every six weeks which feature local and regional artists. Each exhibit includes an artist reception to help connect the community to the artists. In addition, an artist may also provide a demonstration and/or an artist talk. All gallery events are free to the public.
The Gallery also hosts an annual adjudicated high school student art competition called “Off the Wall” that includes poetry and wearable art. This competition is in conjunction with Prince William County Schools and is presented in early January.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

UPCOMING EXHIBITS
What the Walls Remember: A Factory of Fear Group Exhibit
Exhibit dates: Oct. 11-Nov. 8
In conjunction with ARTfactory’s annual Factory of Fear event and fundraiser, the Caton Merchant Gallery is presenting a juried group exhibition titled "What the Walls Remember". This exhibit invites artists to explore themes with a darker tone. While Halloween imagery (like pumpkins or black cats) is welcome, it’s not required. Instead, artists are encouraged to submit works that evoke a mysterious, eerie, or unsettling atmosphere—think shadowy landscapes, surreal or unusual portraits, explorations of good and evil, ethereal or abstract concepts, and pieces that overall convey a dark aesthetic or mood.
